Chapter 646 Change of Tune

"Hu'er, listen to me." Jushou hugged his son calmly and reached out to wipe away his tears.

"Dad really can't betray him a second time, otherwise how will future generations talk about him?" Jushou sighed and asked him: "The great general treats the virtuous and the corporal, and is powerful in the world. Although there are many princes in various places, the one who can wipe out the world must be the great general. Damn, you have to study hard and take good care of your mother, you know?"

"My child knows that he will definitely take good care of his mother." Ju Hu said with tears and sobs.

"Go and see your mother. Dad wants to stay by himself for a while and think about it." Jushou patted his son's head and sat down.

"yes."

Ju Hu glanced at Ju Shou reluctantly and walked to the back hall.

Jushou picked up a Huanshou knife that fell to the ground, gently stroked the blade, and then placed it on his neck.

Tear!

boom. Jushou's body fell to the ground. Juhu was shocked when he heard the sound and ran back in a hurry, but Jushou had already fallen into a pool of blood.

"Father, father!" Juhu hugged Jushu's body and cried loudly: "The child can't live without his father, no!"

"Father, wake up, open your eyes and look at the child!"

But no matter how much Juhu shouted, Jushou's eyes could no longer move, his bright pupils gradually lost their luster, and his body remained motionless.

"Mr. Mr. Yu?"

Liu Ye also heard Juhu's cry outside and rushed in quickly, but what he saw was a cold corpse.

"Yuan Benchu ​​had a resourceful man but couldn't use it. Failure is inevitable." Jia Xu sighed with emotion, glanced at Liu Ye, but couldn't help but feel lucky.

Fortunately, he defected to Liu Ye in the first place. If he had defected to Yuan Shao, wouldn't he end up like Jushou?

When others die, the living always feel a little lucky.

On the second day, outside the north of Yecheng.

"Ju Gongyu is a famous scholar in Hebei. He is full of wisdom and can be called a national scholar. However, Shao cannot use him and harms him." Liu Ye held the scroll in his hand and said with a heavy face: "Now I posthumously designate Ju Gong as the Marquis of Linqing, and my son as the third prince." Marquis of Taixiang to show his loyalty."

Thousands of soldiers from the Liangzhou Army and many celebrities from Hebei gathered around. When they saw Liu Ye personally holding the funeral for Ju Shou, they all looked sideways and whispered.

"Jugong Yuzhen was so proud that he asked the general to preside over his funeral." A wealthy businessman from Yecheng said with emotion: "It would be a great honor to be able to invite the general when someone dies."

"Don't think about it. Ju Gong and I are famous celebrities in Hebei. How can we compare?" A scholar next to him sneered, and then said: "However, the general is powerful in the north and south of the Yellow River and has made great contributions to the court, but he attaches so much importance to Ju Gong and Ju Gong. , it seems that I, Hebei, will definitely not be left out."

"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter whether Yuan Benchu ​​or the general rules Hebei, as long as it allows us to live a good life, that's fine."

"Bury!" Liu Ye shouted, and the jade coffin lid slowly closed. Ju Hu and Ju Shou's wife watched with red eyes as the coffin lid slowly closed, and Ju Shou's body was completely covered. The two couldn't help but howl and throw themselves on the coffin. Their cries spread far away, and those who heard them were really sad. Many Hebei scholars and Jushou's old friends all secretly wept and sighed.

"Help Mrs. Ju and Mr. Ju up." Liu Ye whispered.

A soldier stepped forward and pulled Ju Hao and Mrs. Jushu up. Then the coffin slowly fell into the soil that had been dug earlier. Dozens of soldiers shoveled the soil onto the coffin with all their strength. The sand was like Raindrops fell on the coffin lid, and soon they were gone.

"Everyone!" Liu Ye said loudly: "Yuan Shao is a traitor, does not care about the people's strength, and brings trouble to Jizhou. This general is heartbroken. I now order that half of the taxes in Jizhou be exempted for a period of three years."

"What?"

"Half taxes for three full years?"

"Great! The general is wise and the court is wise!"

All the Hebei scholars present cheered for joy, knowing that many of their families had fertile fields and mulberry fields, and halving taxes equaled countless profits, so everyone was happy. Once the news came out, both the scholars and farmers in Hebei were all happy and praised the general and the court.

"Hu'er." Liu Ye looked at Juhu and said warmly: "You and your mother can go to Luoyang to live. I will arrange for Mr. Cai Bozhe to teach you. How about that?"

"Thank you, General."

Mrs. Ju was a little surprised when she heard this. You must know that Cai Yong's name spread throughout Hanoi, and he was a famous Confucian scholar at home and abroad, as famous as Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Kong Rong and others. If Cai Yong can be made to personally teach him, it can be said that Ju Hu will achieve great success.

Cai Yong didn't have many students, but one example can illustrate Cai Yong's teaching level. Gu Yong, when Cai Yong was demoted to Wu County by Emperor Ling, he took Gu Yong as his disciple, and Gu Yong later became the prime minister of Soochow.

"Well, don't be too sad." Liu Ye consoled him: "My husband and I were loyal men, and they died a worthy death. I promise you that as long as I am alive, I will appoint someone to take care of you." Mr. Tomb, take good care of you."

"Thank you, General." Ju Hu bowed to Liu Ye with a calm expression. After his father died, the young man seemed to have become much more mature and said, "Ju Hu will definitely study more in the future and strive to inherit his father's mantle and become a pillar of the imperial court. .”

"Well, I believe in you." Liu Ye touched Ju Hu's little head and gave some gentle words of encouragement.

After the scholars from Hebei discussed it heatedly for a while, they gradually walked away. Only Liu Ye and hundreds of people stayed in place.

"Wen He." Liu Ye suddenly said: "I can be regarded as a courtesy corporal, right?"

"Why did the general say this?" Jia Xu added: "The general is gifted with talents and is thirsty for talents. Otherwise, how could so many heroes defect to the general and fight for the court?"

"Alas, Mr. Ju was a great man in the world, but he died like this in his prime. I am very heartbroken." Liu Ye let out a long sigh.

"General, do you still remember Jia Yi?" Jia Xu smiled and said: "Jia Yi was a man of great talent and great strategy. Emperor Wen admired his "Public Security Policy" very much. However, Jia Yi was not reused and unfortunately died of illness. There is never a shortage of talented people in this world. Compared with Jia Yi, Ju Gong is lucky, at least he has performed well, but Jia Yi has many kings and many buildings, but his strength is weak. After that, Chao Cuo, the master and father Yan used it more, wouldn't it be more regrettable?"

"Well, I understand what you said." Liu Ye said with emotion: "When someone brings peace to the world, the heroes will definitely get what they want. If the world's heroes are to be used by the world, there will never be people like Jia Yi and Jushou again. tragedy."

"General, you have so much courage. I look forward to that day coming." Jia Xu praised.

Liu Ye personally held a funeral for Jushou and exempted half of the taxes in Jizhou for three years. The people of Jizhou were all happy.
